Notes:
A select landscape is described as a toxic, mutating force, encumbering certain lives and nurturing others. Biology spontaneously becomes shared between the environment and the human characters, thus instigating an exchange of unsolicited but inevitable fates. The division of humans and wilderness becomes blurred, as each life form is created from the same substance — the cell. Like in Isle of Dogs, characters recurrently face numerous obstacles, lucky chances and some sort of final consequence or ‘battle.’ They cross over the margins into the other side of society, consequently emerging to become a new, accomplished version of themselves.
To note: the idea of beautiful but toxic and destructive landscapes. Although this lies within science fiction more than on 'real' earthly terrains, I am interested in how manifestation of such a scape is received by audience. Elements of sublimification of earth and its clash with humans arises in a conflict with the landscape. The humans have lost all control, the land is too overpowering and soon leads to their destruction. Dramatised, exoticised and romanticised portrayal of wilderness.
